The Rio Grande River headwaters in Colorado are from the San Juan Mountains & Rio Grande Forest. Wolf Creek Pass gets ~ 400" of snow/year, or about 46" of precipitation and 133 precipitation days per year. Houston gets 52" and has 104 precipitation days/yr. Austin gets 36" and has 86 days. The Rio Grande Gorge south of the CO/NM state line is 800 feet deep. I think the water use Colorado has from the Rio Grande are well within the water that originates there.

Great article, thanks for posting. Thank you Surly, again, for a forum for others to share information. Too many people and not enough water. A lot of hands out for a dwindling water resource, with more hands coming and less water every day. New Mexico has one big lake on the Rio Grande about twice the volume of Lake Travis. Seasonal water makes it south to El Paso. Kudo's to Kay Bailey Hutchinson for facilitating construction of a desalination plant for El Paso & Ft. Bliss. Get some of that Federal money. "Mexico" uses too much water, but it's really US Ag companies in Mexico using water they don't have the "rights" too. Surprise, surprise. Municipalities in the RGV have water rights, so they take their "share" of the water and use it to water the grass. Literally taking water and pouring it out on the ground so others don't have anything to drink. Too much? As the orchards are replaced by development, the water rights go to the municipalities. It's a "use it or lose dilemma", will they make people water the grass more often, or will they monetize "their water rights." “We’re praying for a hurricane,” Darling said, then corrected himself, sensitive to the region’s traumatic hurricane history. “For a benevolent tropical storm.” New band name, Benovolent Storm.

Passive safety and nuclear reactions sounds like a great idea!

My older brother got his first guitar in 1967, and thanks to him, I grew up thinking Jeff Beck was it. He was THE guitar player, the virtuoso. One of the bad boys of rock-n-roll. I saw Jeff Beck 3 times in the early 70's, and was fortunate to see him about every 10 years since then, most recently at the Paramount. He never ceased to amaze me, and to reaffirm those beliefs from my youth. Forever bending strings and making the guitar sing. We lost a great one. RIP Jeff (oh...Jeff on the left, brother on the right)

Don't most first posters follow this trend?

BOOM !

Boom!

Texas needs to cut to the chase and hire the guy recruiting WR to Wyoming.

CEO (retired) of Fortune 500 company Went to work for his company because I wanted to work for him. Played baseball @ TCU. Great person, best hand shake + eye contact person I ever met. I sent him an email this morning.

"... you reap what you sow ..." Perhaps your letting you alligator mouth overload your hummingbird ass?

Never heard of him until he committed to Texas. When I saw this pic, wow!!! That's a keeper. Look how high his hips are from the ground, and how small the ball looks in his hand. Is there any doubt he's gonna tomahawk that mofo through the hoop? That's Clyde Drexler, jump over somebody, NBA HOF stuff. When he decommitted, I felt the same way I did when Billy Sims committed to OU? Now, who was Quinn Ewers supposed to throw to? Just leave it @ Tom Herman. A Texas offense that ran the QB 10-15 times a game would not appeal to a top WR. Shit assistants. Immature prick. Undisciplined team. Quentin Johnson: 6’4” 215 lbs, 4.4 40 time, 42” vertical. Randy Moss w/ more spring in his legs. Can you see it... ... now ... what if he played for Texas!!! ... talk about jumpin' like a jackrabbit ... Fuck you Tom Herman!!! That's a Bingo! Results matter. 4* & 5* don't mean shit. Jevon Sheppard & Quentin Johnson were both highly recruited 4*. Yes it will impact Texas, and I absolutely want TCU to win. Because they Deserve it. Texas stepped on its Dick, and TCU didn't. TCU winning a National Championship will not hurt Texas, but HS players that go to TCU means they didn't go to LSU, Alabama, Georgia, etc. Texas needs to win. That's all we need, and all we have control of. Well said. TCU is a feel good story and has been a solid, quality program for a long time. They did that with a roster, for the most part, that we wouldn't look at twice. They are fun to watch because they do whatever it takes to win, not pretty football, but roll up your sleeves, get down in the dirt, and go get it. I want the SEC! SEC! SEC! bullshit to get stomped on, and TCU is the one to do it.

Re: CB & tackling 1. Deion Sanders was one of the worst tackling CB's in the NFL. (he funny) 2. Prime Time was also the best cover corner in the history of the NFL. (Hall of Fame) One of those skills is a dime a dozen. Tackling can be taught. If you find the other, keep it. Either you got it or you don't. Not saying any of our players/prospects are either, particularly if they're still teenagers.

You’re a real piece of shit work. Comparing the equivalent of a true freshman who missed his Senior year of high school to 5 multi-year starting Seniors and VY is really a fair comparison. Not one of them walked on the campus with the idea that I am the leader and this is my team. I saw VY play 3 years in high school and there was no way he was ready to lead Texas as a true freshman. I’m pretty sure fresh off the ranch young Colt did not have any illusions that he was the leader of the team and not VY. I don’t recall too many freshman, if any, that came to Texas with the idea that they are “it.” Not Earl, not Ricky, not VY, not Quinn. Quinn appears to be humble young man thankful for the opportunity to play at his dream school, especially given that Tom Herman almost doomed him to being a buckeye for life. He knows that missing his senior year of high school hurt him. “Now it's up to you, Charlie, but you might consider cuttin' the kid a little slack.”

He looks like Jamal Charles. Shifty swivel hips, quick acceleration, and enough top end speed to run away from everybody. Can't find anything on his track times.

FIFY We haven't had a QB on campus that could throw consistently throw a deep ball since Colt McCoy. Certainly not Tyronne or Sam. Quinn can. That isn't reducing the playbook. Quinn's mechanics aren't textbook. But he made throws before he got hurt that 90% of QB's can only dream about. how about a qb who progresses and improves throughout the year? And which FRESHMAN QB, with an injury that affected his throwing motion, would that be? I'll hang up and listen. How exactly have we "stripped down the Playbook?" Show us.

On the long pass down the sideline, Worthy had 20 yards to adjust to the ball and he didn't deviate from his line more than 1-2 feet. Whether that's vision or lack of effort, the result is the same, and you can't have the most consistent thing your go to receiver does is not finding and catching the ball. ... except for the part of pounding K. Robinson between the tackles. Per Quinn's midweek interview; Riley Dodge was going to spend Quinn's Sr. year on mechanics. He lost that year. He also said he spent that time with CJ Stroud on film study. While both are important, a year spent on mechanics would have been a much better use of his time. Their were a lot of reasons UW won and Texas lost, they made plays when they need to and we didn't. Defense played well overall, but couldn't get off the field. Offensive line looked like the swinging doors from the a wild west saloon. Cain played well, too bad he isn't as fast and graceful as the UW receivers. JT had 2 receptions where he could have easily got a first down, but tried to make a move and got tackled short. No Bijan/Roschon hurt. Duh!!! Did Jaydon Blue even play? 3rd and short killed us. With no reliable run game, poor play calling resulted in low percentage passes with low percentage results. Quinn played well. He did a much better job of throwing the ball away and not taking a sack. He missed a few passes, everyone does. His stat line was 31/47 (66%) for 369, 1 TD 0 Int. If Worthy could fucking catch, it should have been 33/46 (72%) for 469+, 2 TD, 0 Int. His effortless toss that Worthy dropped was 50+ yards. I like Sam, he is a Texas Hero, but he couldn't make that pass. To all of you Nancy's bellyaching about QE,

Worthy needs some Clifford Franklin goo.

Worthy you piece of shit. You’ve got one job.

Defense is playing good enough. Offense SUCKS. Robinson has no business running between the tackles. 3 god damn points?

ME 202 - Intro to Engineering in '74. Dr. Schmidt gave a slide rule test and everyone had to pass before we moved on. He said every engineer before us knew how to use one and that wasn't going to stop on his watch. Still have it.
